Oddbean new post about login | logout The mayor of NYC is going to South America on a "fact finding mission," to understand why migrants are here. What will happen when he discovers that one of the biggest drivers is climate change? Will he then come back and be all in on the Green New Deal? Or will absolutely nothing change, and he'll still ask people to come back into the office, commuting unnecessarily, just to prop up commercial real estate prices? Climate changes. Crops fail. People go hungry. People start walking North.
Related: It's truly impressive how NYC can complain that its economy is failing because 400,000 NYC residents left the city for higher paying jobs and lower cost of living in Atlanta and Austin, depleting the NYC labor force and dooming small businesses... And then without skipping a beat, complain that its economy is failing because tens of thousands of migrants seeking work, are coming to NYC looking for jobs, wanting to be part of the NYC labor force. 🙂🙃 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BN1WwnEDWAM
